Hi there,

I'm using 2.1.2 with greypop theme and the "album select" module to build a tree menu in the sidebar (the DHTML option).

I would like to know if there is any way to activate word-wrapping in the Album Select tree. Currently, with long titles, or if the user selects a big font size, the menu overflows off the sidebar.

I suppose there might be some kind of "overflow" css option that would allow your to scroll the sidebar, but that's not such an optimal solution. A true word wrap would be ideal.

Any insight is greatly appreciated!

Cheers,
Ryan

Excellent, thanks very much. I took the notes from that thread and implimented something I can work with. As the thread noted, it's not perfect, but regardless, I'm trying to design the sidebar (width, font sizes, etc...) such that most viewers will not need the word wrap.

I'll sacrifice some funky formatting so that the occasional viewer with the extra large font size can at least see the whole title.

Thanks again.

And sorry that I did not see that thread before posting.... I tried searching with every combination of "album select" and "word wrap", etc that I could think of, but no dice. I think the search is only title-based? That other thread has a somewhat off-topic title.

Cheers,
Ryan
